A chef's dream, the 33 foot long Italian Boffi kitchen with Corian countertops features not one, but two of every top-of-the-line appliance. Miele and Gaggenau steal the show, including a 70-bottle wine refrigerator, freezer drawers, beverage fridge and integrated espresso/cappuccino maker. A smartly designed island features seating for 6 with brilliant North and West views through large plate glass picture windows. Tucked away for privacy, the king-sized primary bedroom is outfitted with 6 custom designed floor to ceiling closets, magnificent views of the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, another walk in closet and a spa-like primary bath.

This floor enjoys a separate entry and a generous laundry closet with full sized Miele washer and dryer. A decadent two person Swedish sauna sits next to a serene white marble and mosaic bathroom with double sinks, jacuzzi bathtub, separate stall shower and heated floor.
